This past week, Zan posted a great video on diagonal planes that included an exercise that does an amazing job of cleaning up diagonals--seriously, well done :) Playing with diagonals has me thinking about having planes offset by degree differences other than 0, 90 or 180, and here is an example of plane switching between planes at are offset by degrees based in 3 or 5 rather than 4. Next, over the weekend, Chris Rovo showed me a pattern he'd been working on wherein an atomic flower switches to atomic weave and over to another atomic flower. After playing with this a little while, I added a plane-bend to the mix that resulted in something that resembled both the initial atomic flower as well as an antispin weave...weird. Finally, over the weekend a local poi spinner named Eric showed off an orbital stall that had originally been mentioned on Home of Poi that actually looks pretty sharp, though I don't think there's a way to switch out of it without a conventional orbital exit.
